The entire freshman class at Nashoba Tech took part in a Day of Service, volunteering across the region to give back to the community.
Students spent the day helping at local organizations, including Community Harvest Project, Nubian Community Gardens, Merrimack Valley Food Bank, Westford Conservation Trust, Mass Audubon Drumlin Farm, Good Pickin’ Farm, the Scholefield Home for Veterans, and Habitat for Humanity in Ayer.
On the Nashoba Tech campus, additional groups participated in a school beautification project, weeding garden beds and planting mums and spring bulbs generously donated by Nashoba Tech staff and freshman families.
Through their efforts, students demonstrated Nashoba Tech’s Portrait of a Graduate attributes — Respectful, Responsible, Resilient, Resourceful and Ready — while learning the values of teamwork, community engagement and service to others.
The event was organized by Vocational Coordinator Kate Hawkins, who said, “Nashoba Tech thanks all community partners, staff and families who made the Day of Service possible and helped inspire students to make a difference close to home.”
